Common Questions & Answers

↓

Are there any secrets to find in Medal of Honor?

None, except the Tier 1 mode runs. Think of it as DICE's way of making Mirror's Edge speed runs with weapons!

↓

How many weapons are there in the game?

A dozen or so, but for campaign, you need only concern yourself with the starting weapons (unless you enjoy hosing and wasting bullets) since your teammates carry extra ammunition.

↓

Speaking of ammo, how does that work?

Your soldier (Rabbit, Deuce, and Dante) will almost always have an NPC ally tagging along. He will also have four "ammo reloads" for your character, denoted by the four bullets next to the NPC's nametag.

These refills will completely replenish the ammunition of your currently equipped weapon (except what's in the magazine), so you may want to ask your buddy when your weapon is loaded, but you have little or no reserve ammo left. You can ask for ammo when you have ammo for approximately one more (or less) reload.

For enemy weapons, you need move over the same weapon as the one you're holding (for example, an AK-47). You can pick duplicate weapons, but reserve ammunition is taken from "excess" bullets outside of the weapon's magazine. Your allies will not provide ammunition refills for enemies weapons, hence you're limited to what you can scavenge on the battlefield.

↓

Should I look for any particular weapon for story mode?

No - the ones you start with are fine for most missions. Since you cannot customize weapons, DICE have done the job for you. If there is a weapon you need for a scenario, it is often provided nearby. Note that if you need to switch to using enemy weapons, you will no longer be able to get ammunition from your computer allies.

↓

If I run out of ammo and don't have enemy weapons, am I screwed?

All soldiers have a fallback weapon. Double-tap the weapon change button (on console) to pull out the hold-out handgun. The hold-out handgun has infinite ammunition and is totally bad-ass for CQB. You can fire/melee with the knife and handgun, easily dispatching multiple foes at close quarters.

↓

I keep getting shot; what gives?

Medal of Honor uses DICE's quick-cover system, where you stop and use the joystick to move your character into different positions to get behind cover. Play the game like you would Rainbow Six Vegas, or Metal Gear Solid (as if you're killing enemies and there's no penalty to alerts). Use the quick-cover button and the stick to stay in cover and snipe back. Remember, you have no aim-snap feature.

↓

I keep failing at (—insert—location—). What gives!?

Medal of Honor has some time and target-critical missions you need to meet. If you fail those conditions, you need to retry from a checkpoint.
